I wanted to use OpenCV v4+ in AutoIt. I found Opencv UDF on the forum, but there was no support for OpenCV v4+ This UDF provides support for OpenCV v4+ Update There is a new implementation using COM. It is almost as easy as python to use It is also possible to interact with GDI+ Download and extract opencv-4.10.0-windows.exe into a folder Download and extract autoit-opencv-4.10.0-com-v2.6.2.7z into a folder Sources Here Documentation A generated documentation for functions is available here Examples More samples can be found here To run them, please follow these instructions Showing an image #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include "autoit-opencv-com\udf\opencv_udf_utils.au3" _OpenCV_Open("opencv-4.7.0-windows\opencv\build\x64\vc16\bin\opencv_world470.dll", "autoit-opencv-com\autoit_opencv_com470.dll") OnAutoItExitRegister("_OnAutoItExit") Example() Func Example() Local $cv = _OpenCV_get() If Not IsObj($cv) Then Return Local $img = _OpenCV_imread_and_check(_OpenCV_FindFile("samples\data\lena.jpg")) $cv.imshow("Image", $img) $cv.waitKey() $cv.destroyAllWindows() EndFunc ;==>Example Func _OnAutoItExit() _OpenCV_Close() EndFunc ;==>_OnAutoItExit Drawing contours #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include "autoit-opencv-com\udf\opencv_udf_utils.au3" _OpenCV_Open("opencv-4.7.0-windows\opencv\build\x64\vc16\bin\opencv_world470.dll", "autoit-opencv-com\autoit_opencv_com470.dll") OnAutoItExitRegister("_OnAutoItExit") Example() Func Example() Local $cv = _OpenCV_get() If Not IsObj($cv) Then Return Local $img = _OpenCV_imread_and_check("samples\data\pic1.png") Local $img_grey = $cv.cvtColor($img, $CV_COLOR_BGR2GRAY) $cv.threshold($img_grey, 100, 255, $CV_THRESH_BINARY) Local $thresh = $cv.extended[1] Local $contours = $cv.findContours($thresh, $CV_RETR_TREE, $CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE) ConsoleWrite("Found " & UBound($contours) & " contours" & @CRLF & @CRLF) $cv.drawContours($img, $contours, -1, _OpenCV_Scalar(0, 0, 255), 2) $cv.imshow("Image", $img) $cv.waitKey() $cv.destroyAllWindows() EndFunc ;==>Example Func _OnAutoItExit() _OpenCV_Close() EndFunc ;==>_OnAutoItExit Showing an image in autoit GUI #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include "autoit-opencv-com\udf\opencv_udf_utils.au3" #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> _OpenCV_Open("opencv-4.7.0-windows\opencv\build\x64\vc16\bin\opencv_world470.dll", "autoit-opencv-com\autoit_opencv_com470.dll") OnAutoItExitRegister("_OnAutoItExit") Example() Func Example() Local $cv = _OpenCV_get() If Not IsObj($cv) Then Return #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= Local $FormGUI = GUICreate("show image in autoit gui", 400, 400, 200, 200) Local $Pic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 0, 0, 400, 400) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### Local $img = _OpenCV_imread_and_check(_OpenCV_FindFile("samples\data\lena.jpg")) _OpenCV_imshow_ControlPic($img, $FormGUI, $Pic) Local $nMsg While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd $cv.destroyAllWindows() EndFunc ;==>Example Func _OnAutoItExit() _OpenCV_Close() EndFunc ;==>_OnAutoItExit Showing an image in an autosized autoit GUI #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include "autoit-opencv-com\udf\opencv_udf_utils.au3" #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> _OpenCV_Open("opencv-4.7.0-windows\opencv\build\x64\vc16\bin\opencv_world470.dll", "autoit-opencv-com\autoit_opencv_com470.dll") OnAutoItExitRegister("_OnAutoItExit") Example() Func Example() Local $cv = _OpenCV_get() If Not IsObj($cv) Then Return #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= Local $FormGUI = GUICreate("show image in autoit gui [WINDOW_AUTOSIZE]", 400, 400, 200, 200) Local $Pic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 0, 0, 400, 400) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### Local $img = _OpenCV_imread_and_check(_OpenCV_FindFile("samples\data\lena.jpg")) ;

Hi guys, here is a small dll wrapper I made geared at making YOLOv3 (Joseph Redmon, Ali Farhadi) more accessible to AutoIt users. Homepage of YOLO: https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/ Technical overview: You only look once (YOLO) is a state-of-the-art, real-time object detection system. On a Pascal Titan X it processes images at 30 FPS and has a mAP of 57.9% on COCO test-dev. (from https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/) Screenshots: Features: This UDF currently supports recognizing objects in images passed in as a HBITMAP Below is a complete list of the functions currently available in this library: ;

The problem is using _arrayadd() with the delimited-string option. Your object gets converted to string and is no longer an object when extracted. Do not use delimited-string for complex datatypes.

@hudsonhock StringRegExpReplace acts differently from StringRegExp. When you specify surrounding characters, they are also replaced, but only the captured part can be back-referenced. So in order to make it work, you will need to repeat the surroundings in the replacement string. For example : FileWrite("NewConEmu.xml", StringRegExpReplace(FileRead("ConEmu.xml"), '(name="AnsiLogPath" type="string" data=)".*"', '$1"NewValueHere"')) But you could also use the XMLDOM object, which give you more control over an xml file : Local $oXML = ObjCreate("Microsoft.XMLDOM") $oXML.load("ConEmu.xml") Local $oNode = $oXML.SelectSingleNode("//value[@name='AnsiLogPath']") ConsoleWrite($oNode.xml & @CRLF) $oNode.setAttribute("data", "testpath") ConsoleWrite($oNode.xml & @CRLF) $oXml.save("NewConEmu.xml")

This doesn't work. Do Sleep(100) Until WinActive( "TheNuggetQueen - Discord" ) Everyone here is going "well duh ", but I mean, why can't that work? Is there any other type of loop that I could use in one line that would work here? Btw, I want to replace sleep with "WinActivate" to loop until window is at forefront.(EDIT: I'm not automating anything other than Discord! Goodness that came out wrong the first time lmao. I'm writing a love message sender)

Here is a well commented and simple example that beginners should be able to follow. It deals with a lot of beginner consepts, a ton of them being consepts I started with. You must have discord running, and you will have to modify the Window title names, but it should otherwise work right out of the box for you. ;This will help us keep a running tally of how often we've thought about our S.O. ;We could do this totally in ram, but we would lose our count any time the program crashes or restarts. ;This allows us to reset our count according to our wishes. If Not FileExists( "count" ) Then ;If file doesn't exist, FileWriteLine( "count", "0" ) ;create the file with the number 0 EndIf ;This sets * on the numberpad as our hotkey to launch the main function. ;The loop just gives us a reason to be running in the background. Script can't end until we want it to or our hotkey isn't being watched for. HotKeySet("{NUMPADMULT}", "KissAndTell"); * on the numberpad. While 1 Sleep( 10000 ) WEnd Func KissAndTell() ;Create Function KissAndTell $count = FileReadLine( "count" ); Get number of times executed. $count = $count + 1; Account for this time by adding one. FileDelete("count"); Delete our file to ensure blank slate. FileWriteLine( "count", $count );write current count to file, recreating it. Do;Keep... WinActivate( "TheNuggetQueen - Discord");... activating this window until... Until WinActive( "TheNuggetQueen - Discord" );... we see that it's active. Send("My program is recording how much I think about you. I've thought about you " & $count & " times today! I love you!",1) Send("{ENTER}") EndFunc ;EndFunction
